At the House of Commons today, UK Prime Minister David Cameron called the jihadist attack on the BP gas field "brutal And savage" (there's that word again), and said that the assault on the complex was "large, well co-ordinated and heavily armed" and appeared to be pre-planned.

Obama tells us that al Qaeda is vanquished, while in reality their attacks are becoming more lethal, more widespread, and more brazen. The attack on our consulate (or whatever that building really was) in Benghazi that led to murder of our Ambassador and three other diplomatic attaches) was al Qaeda.

The jihadist attack on a gas field targeting Westerners is huge news across the world. Everywhere but here in America. This should be the number one news story and the top priority of the Obama administration. Americans were taken hostage -- how many died in the subsequent rescue can only be guessed at right now. But we know of one American death. Even so, here in America, is the President even talking about this like other world leaders? No. He is exploiting a horrible tragedy and hiding behind the skirts of children in order to disarm the American people.

Even
violence-scarred Algerians were stunned by the brazen hostage-taking
Wednesday, the biggest in northern Africa in years and the first to
include Americans as targets (more here).

The Daily Mail reports the Algerian jihadis have weapons from Libya -- so we supplied them.

When he met with Afghan President Hamid Karzai in Washington last Friday, Barack Obama said this
about the war in Afghanistan: “We achieved our central goal … or have
come very close to achieving our central goal, which is to de-capacitate
al-Qaeda, to dismantle them, to make sure that they can’t attack us
again.”

He said this four days after a Muslim imam who was a soldier in the Afghan National Army opened fire
on a group of his British “allies,” murdering one of them and wounding
six. The Taliban, al-Qaeda’s partner in Afghanistan, claimed
responsibility for the attack, which was yet another in an
ever-lengthening string of “insider” attacks by Afghan forces against
those who are putting themselves at risk to train and assist them. The BBC reports
that “in 2012, more than 60 Nato service personnel, and a quarter of
the British troops who died in Helmand, were killed in such attacks.”

The Taliban is not al-Qaeda, although the distinction on the ground
in Afghanistan may be exceedingly fine, too fine to be discerned by the
average NATO soldier when the Afghan he is trying to teach how to be a
military man turns the gun he has just given him on his benefactor. In
any case, the appalling fact that “a quarter of the British troops who
died in Helmand” perished in such attacks indicates that the enemy in
Afghanistan is far from being either “de-capacitated” or dismantled, and
still has the ability to attack us.

Nonetheless, Obama officials keep doing the victory dance over an
al-Qaeda that they repeatedly imply is on the verge of extinction. Jeh
Johnson, general counsel at the Defense Department, recently said that “military pursuit of al-Qaida” should end soon.
His reasoning was apparently that al-Qaeda is now so severely damaged
that we will soon reach a “tipping point” after which military action
against them will no longer be necessary, and local police can handle
it.

This astounding manifestation of an overconfidence of Baghdad Bob
proportions, or else of a capitulation attempting to disguise itself as a
victory, is bitterly ironic coming at a time when al-Qaeda is anything
but on the ropes: in fact, it is “carving out its own state”
in Mali, with so much success that last Friday the French launched
airstrikes in hopes of stopping its advance and its consolidation of
power in the vast areas it already controls.

Viewed alongside the Obama administration’s unstinting support for
the Muslim Brotherhood regime in Egypt and support for jihadist rebels
elsewhere, along with its active work to further the agenda
of Islamic supremacist Muslim Brotherhood front groups in the U.S.,
this raises questions about whether Obama is preparing to abandon the
last elements of any U.S. resistance to jihad in any form.
